[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 270956, member: 3907"] TM, I totally understand that. My birthday generally falls on the same weekend as Canadian Thanksgiving, and for most of my life was either "rolled in" to the Thanksgiving dinner celebration (birthday cake as the [I]other [/I]dessert option, for those who didn't want the pumpkin pie), or forgotten altogether in the cooking-and-eating frenzy. Honestly, husband spoils me rotten in so many other ways that I can't bear to fuss at him over a lacklustre MD celebration. As for the older children, they are spoiled and entitled, and I tend to shield myself from hurt by not expecting anything from them. Little easy child is my joy in all this. He figures that it's his job to look after Mummy. Sadly, he will be doing the rounds with the other relatives this weekend, and won't be with me for MD. (I hate family messes. And family courts. And frog-marching little boys from one home to another to another without any real chance to settle down anywhere) Bleah! [/QUOTE]
